"RUBY?"

Ruby sauntered into Emma's bedroom with a smile on her face, "Yes?"

"Where are my shoes?" Emma asked.

"How should I know? They're probably by the door since that is where pretty much all your shoes are," Ruby replied and she walked back out the room.

Emma rolled her eyes and went to pick up her shoes. When she bent down to pick them up she saw an envelope on the doormat.

For you was all that was on the front.

"Ruby, did you drop this?" Emma asked, walking back into the living room and handing Ruby the envelope.

Ruby eyed the writing on the front of it, "Nope. There's no address on it so it must have been delivered by the person. Or by the friend of the person."

Emma plucked the envelope from Ruby's hands and opened it.

Can we meet at some point? We have some issues to discuss.

Emma's eyebrows furrowed in confusion and she handed the letter back to Ruby, who, after reading the note, had the exact same expression as Emma.

"Ignore it. It's probably just some twelve year old that lives in the building," Ruby said, carefully putting the note back in the envelope and putting it on the coffee table in front of her.

"Okay," Emma said.

Ruby smiled, "Now go and finish getting ready because I heard that you have a hot date tonight."

Emma arrived at the restaurant ten minutes early but instead of happily waiting for Killian, all she could think about was the note, There were questions rushing through her head. Eventually, Killian arrived and she felt herself calm down slightly.

"Hello, love. You look stunning," Killian said.

Emma blushed, "I try my best."

"You don't even have to try you know," Killian said, sitting down opposite her.

"Stop it or my face is going to go redder than you've ever seen it," Emma said, laughing.

"I'm willing to go that far."

"Don't you dare."

Why, Swan? Will you feel as though you might owe me after all the compliments I'm giving you?"

"Not at all. I just want to enjoy tonight. Without blushing the whole time."

"I have plenty more ways that could make you blush," Killian said, beginning to smirk.

Emma raised her eyebrows, completely oblivious to where he was going with this, "Prove it."

"Well," he started, stretching out in his chair and leaning forwards so he was closer to Emma's face. "If you're up for it, we could go back to my place for dessert that's so much better than any of the desserts here."

"Okay so you weren't bluffing," Emma said, hiding her face in her hands.

Killian chuckled and leaned back in his chair, "I'm no bluffer, love."

They ordered some drinks and settled into an easy conversation. Throughout all the conversations they had, Killian couldn't keep his eyes of Emma. There were voices running through his head, debating with one another. You love her, just tell her. You're moving too fast because if you tell her now, she will run off.

"Killian?"

Killian realised he hadn't been listening, "Hm?"

Emma laughed, "You went into your own world for a minute."

"Sorry, love. I was just dazzled by how beautiful you are," Killian said, giving her a charming smile.

"Stop being cheesy. It doesn't flatter me," Emma said.

When the bill came, Emma snatched it off the table before Killian could even move, "My turn."

Killian just shook his head and let her pay.

Arm in arm, they walked down to the docks where they had first kissed. They were silent but it wasn't awkward. It never was between the two. They sat on a bench and Emma lifted her feet and let them rest across Killian's knees. He was surprised at how comfortable she was doing this but he didn't question it. Killian actually like it. a lot.

"I don't want you to leave again," Emma said, breaking the silence.

Killian reached his hand out to find Emma's and held it, "I know."

"I understand it's your job but I really like spending time with you," said Emma.

"Well, love, what do you want to do? We can make the most of tonight and tomorrow," Killian said, his thumb running circles on Emma's hand.

Emma put her feet back on the ground and rested her head on Killian's shoulder, "I don't know. I don't care. As long as we get to spend as much time as possible together."

"We will, Emma. I promise," Killian said.

"I don't want to say goodnight," Emma said.

"We don't have to."

"Are you suggesting...?"

"No! Not at all. Unless...?" Killian didn't quite meet look her in the eye.

"Yes."

"What?" Killian was taken aback when she said this. "Love, I honestly didn't-"

Emma cut him short, "You promised that we would spend as much time as possible together and this is how I want to spend it."

They looked at each other for a moment before Killian leaned in and kissed her. Emma opened her mouth for him and his tongue slipped in. Emma felt a heat starting to pool in her stomach as the kiss deepened. She hadn't expected for tonight go this way at all but she was glad it did. Killian began to run his hands through Emma's hair and that sent a shiver down Emma's spine. The kiss was cut short when a group of teenagers appeared and started whistling and shouting at them.

Killian pulled back and sighed, "Let's get to the car, Swan."

/

The drive back to Emma's apartment was full of heated glances between the two. Keeping one hand on the wheel, Killian rest his other hand on Emma's upper thigh. In the elevator, all Emma wanted to do was drown in Killian's kisses but that was not possible due to the fact that there were other people in the elevator. Killian shifted closer to Emma ever so slightly and wrapped his arm around her waist. When they arrived at the entrance of Emma's apartment, she fumbled with her keys but when she heard the click she pushed the door open, let Killian through and slammed it shut.

"I must say, Swan, your apartment building is awfully busy," Killian said.

Before Emma could reply, she was pushed up against the door and Killian dipped his head to press his lips against hers. Emma felt shivers all over her body as Killian kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he lifted her up against the door as though she was weightless. Emma laughed.

Killian grinned as he look up at her, "What's funny, love?"

"I just never thought tonight would go this well," Emma said breathlessly.

"Trust me. It will only get better," Killian laughed when Emma let out a small moan but then captured her lips in another kiss.

The next morning, Emma woke up feeling happy. She felt Killian pressed up against her back with his arms around her and all the memories of the previous night's events came pouring back into her mind. She slipped out of bed as quietly as she could and found a baggy t-shirt and some panties to put on. Emma looked back at Killian lying in her bed, still sleeping. She nearly laughed at how adorable he looked. She left the room and headed towards the kitchen to find some breakfast for the two of them. She grabbed a loaf of bread out of the bread bin and put on some coffee. While the coffee was brewing she fished her phone out of her bag and turned it on. There were around twenty messages from Ruby.

Emma? How did it go?

I'm assuming you're home so stop ignoring me.

Turn your phone on for god's sake Emma.

Are you still with him? Please tell me if he is spending the night.

He must have spent the night so don't even deny it. I NEED THE DETAILS ASAP.

You and Killian are on the front cover of most of those trashy magazines - you might want to check it out.

Emma's face paled. It must have been those teens that were shouting at them last night at the docks. Emma put her phone down on the counter and started to pour out the coffee when Killian walked in. His hair was sticking up all over the place and Emma giggled at the sight of him.

Killian gave a fake scowl before wrapping his arms around her waist, "Morning, love." He gave her a soft kiss on the forehead and Emma pretended to gag.

"We are being so couple-y," Emma said, laughing.

Killian chuckled at her silly behaviour, "It's not a bad thing though, Swan."

He grabbed a cup of coffee and Emma put some bread in the toaster.

"I got some texts from Ruby this morning," Emma said.

"She's the friend that was there when you fell against the door when I came to pick you a while back, isn't she?" Killian asked, smiling slightly at the memory.

"Yeah. Anyway, she told me that we are on the cover for a lot of magazines today," Emma said, letting out a sigh.

"Oh bloody hell," Killian muttered. "Is it of us at the docks?"

Emma shrugged, "I don't know. I haven't seen the picture yet."

Killian took a gulp of his coffee, "We should try and ignore it. I don't want anything to ruin today."

"What are we doing today?" Emma asked, raising an eyebrow.

Killian glanced at the toaster, "Well, for starters we are going to make sure you don't burn the building down by letting you're toast burn."

Emma sniffed the air and could smell her toast burning. With a gasp she turned round and popped the toast up. She stared sadly at the burnt piece of toast and Killian laughed.

"It's not funny!" Emma whined.

Killian continued laughing but Emma just crossed her arms and glared at him. She walked over to the bin and dropped the slices of burnt toast into it.

"I need to shower," Emma huffed.

Killian stopped laughing and hopped of the stool, "I'll help you, love."

Emma grinned and dragged him to the bathroom, shutting the door behind them.
